Thoughts on Guy Denning - Thief of Baghdad, by snelj8 on Sept 27, 2007 16:58:19 GMT 1, I am currently contemplating getting this piece, but have been looking at it for past few days and trying to get a feel for this painting - it almost seems the painting would have been stronger had the person in the right of the painting been left out - but in a way it still goes together.
Would love to get another's perspective and eye on this..
thanks!

thats good advice. i was havin a talk with my mrs over a similar issue, It may depend on why u r still thinkin about it. It may also help to find out more about the painting itself. I think a lot of GD's work is amazing and missed out on buying on of my fav pieces by him www.guydenning.org/guyorg/sitedocuments/archive/2006_archive/2006_pages/0441.htm that went to someone on this forum or perhaps w a l l candy but still bought a piece which i love and sits better with the mrs. That being said, this piece of his doesnt quite do it for me. I f you can, perhaps wait until the RP show in November maybe?

Thoughts on Guy Denning - Thief of Baghdad, by Photoxtc on Sept 27, 2007 20:07:55 GMT 1, Another thing to take into consideration is that Guy's work actually looks much better and different in person...
The imagery is not for me on this one but I bet it looks stunning in person... Honestly, you won't find a much better artist with the skill and technique that Denning has and uses...
The canvas I have of his is soooo haunting and beautiful at the same time and really draws you in, it's a piece I really have to stop and look at every time I walk by it...

The best advice full stop.
If you have been looking at it for days then its not for you.

actually, assuming 'gay' is a dirty word is narrow minded, isn't it?
if someone says 'it's too gay for me' maybe they mean just that - too gay for them (but maybe not for the next collector)?
